She also co-wrote and executive-produced the Emmy-nominated Battlestar webisodes, and co-created Syfy's Warehouse 13. She has written comic books, short stories and edited books of essays related to several of these shows. She is currently proud to be a Consulting Producer of ABC's Once Upon A Time, Once Upon A Time: Wonderland, as well as continuing her work on the award-winning sitcom Husbands with her producing partner, Brad Bell, on the CW Seed.
